Katherine Brown has been hired by New York City Ballet into a new executive director position that will oversee all non-artistic matters; the position will report directly to the board and will be charged with reducing expenses, solving the deficit problem, increasing revenue and attracting younger audiences. Julie Bloom reports in the New York Times:

It's about time they created this position. I am a firm believer in the importance of checks-and-balances in a ballet company, or any artistic company really. It is essential that there is someone of equal rank to the Artistic Director who can say NO without fear of retribution.

The Saratoga Performing Arts Center has found a corporate sponsor -- the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, or HSBC -- for the residencies of New York City Ballet and the Philadelphia Orchestra during Summer 2010.

New York City Ballet management wants to include a set of "social media guidelines" for artistic and administrative staff as part of its negotiations with AGMA on a new contract. Erica Orden reports in the Wall Street Journal.
